safe in what respect? Do you mean contraceptive wise or health wise?

Well I had glandular fever when I was 16 and the last thing on my mind was sex!
I was told that for 3 months after the symptoms died down that I wasn't to strain or carry anything heavy (as in lift a heavy wheelbarrow, I was doing a horticultural course at the time) as I could rupture my spleen and hemorage (my word, can't remember how to spell that word at all!). I was also told to not drink alcohol for at least 6 months. This was 13 years ago.
I would speak to your Doctor if you have any concerns.

The only risk is the other person catching it through kissing, otherwise its fine as long as you don't exhaust yourself!

in both ways really. I wasn't sure if saliva was the only bodily juice it could be passed through! As for contraception, I'm now on antibiotics for my throat so I guess my pill is quite useless at the moment.
